EQUIP II encompasses a SDR18.9 million IDA grant (US$30 million equivalent) in 2008 (closed in 2012), ARTF financing of US$158 million approved in 2009 and Additional Financing in the amount of US$250 million in 2012. Total project cost equals US$438 million. The current closing date of the project is December, 31, 2016. As of June 21, 2016, out of US$ 408 million, EQUIP II disbursed approximately US$ 336 million (83 percent of grant proceeds). The project has made considerable progress in (i) the number of teachers trained, (ii) provision of inputs to schools, and (iii) establishment of information systems including collecting first hand data from schools and provincial directorates which have had a positive impact on the overall enrollment of boys and girls. The PDO indicators such as the direct beneficiaries and establishing systems of learning assessment, show positive trends; however, the increase in girls’ enrollment and ratio of girls to boys remain below their target levels and there has been a minor decrease in the ratio of girls to boys in grades 1-3 and 10-12, which according to MoE is caused by increasing insecurity. Similarly, the period since the November 2015 ISM has also experienced a slight decrease in the number of students completing the last grade of a stage. Overall, the progress towards achieving the PDO is rated Moderately Satisfactory and overall Implementation Progress is rated Moderately Unsatisfactory due to the fact that a large number of schools that have already been funded under the project still remain incomplete (110 stopped and 415 incomplete). 7/22/2016 Page 2 of 17 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Afghanistan - Second Education Quality Improvement Program (P106259) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  High  High Macroeconomic  --  High  High Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Substantial  Substantial Environment and Social  --  Low  Low Stakeholders  --  Low  Low 7/22/2016 Page 3 of 17 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Afghanistan - Second Education Quality Improvement Program (P106259) Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Ratio of Girls to Boys in grades 1-3 (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 69.00 -- 68.00 79.00 Date 31-Dec-2008 -- 21-Jun-2016 31-Dec-2016 Comments The project tracks ratio girls to boys at the grade level and not at the overall aggregate level.
